    Diagram set-up of PhotoShoot

    Thank you very much Hjoseph. :) When speaking of OFF CAMERA FLASH Most people think of huge studio flashes 75" softboxes. I on the other hand prefer multiple low power flash to achieve the image that I want. Here is another image I took about 5 years ago I think. I used 7 Yongnou flashes here. The 6 where set at 1/32th power distributed among the models while the seventh was on camera and use to fill in to have front detail. When my photography friends saw this picture they jokingly called it " The parade of the Yongnous" . :) Canon EOS600D f/8, 1/125S, ISO200, 28mm(SLR Equivalent)

    Sometime though, I overdo it that at the end of the shoot you may find the simple shot without any external flash maybe better. hahahahaha :) Huawei P30, f /1.6, 1/100S, ISO400, 27mm (35mm equivalent) Here is the diagram for the shoot. Here is a Straight shot without the CP550W External Flashed activated. I don't know if this shoot is actually better. :p Huawei P30, f/1.6, 1/40S, ISO320, 27mm (35mm equivalent)

    Yes you can BeBu. :) The CPFlash 550W being a tri-function flash also has an added bonus. It can be use as a video lighting effects generator. I don't do video so I have no need for it right now, but may come handy for Vloggers who needs it for video lighting effects. Here is a YouTube showcasing its capability as a video lighting effects generator.

    Hello Bebu, yes that the beauty of this flash. It gives a burst of intense light from 80ms to 500ms (user adjustable). This is the reason why it will synch with you smartphone, DSLR or mirrorless camera at any shutter speed. I have tested it with my smartphone and DSLR at shutter speeds of 1/10,000 S and it has no problems synching with both the smartphone and DSLR. There is also a technical reason why xenon bulbs will not synch with your smartphone above about 1/25 S. It has something to do about linear scanning of the image capture. That was the technical problem that was never solve by the Godox A1 until it was discontinued this year. It is also the same reason why no xenon bulb flash has ever been offered for a smartphone. Because it is LED it is rated for about 50,000 hours or probably tens of millions of flash burst, compare this with a xenon bulb which is rated to fire about 20,000 times before it gets busted and its power is equivalent to a light output of a Canon 580EX or a nikon SB900 or Yongnou or Godox speedlights if you use it with an DSLR . The equivalent guide number is about 190' or 58meters at 105mm angle of view or an equivalent of about 60WS. Here is a youtube video review of a famous photographer Davin Lavikka of the CPFlash 550W. It is very informative. :)

    A very nice example of Computational Photography in Smartphones
    This is photo is not mine but I am very impressed with the way the smartphone automatically blurred the background just like a very large aperture lens for DSLRs or mirrorless cameras. Photo Credit to the Owner of this Photo and HIPA.

    Hello James, You can actually do a lot more with your smartphone now. Here is an HIPA award winninng shot taken with a smartphone, the very shallow depth of field is the result of computational photography. with a few keystrokes you can simulate the effects of a very large aperture lenses costing thousands of dollars, and you can control the amount of blurring to you liking. :) Photo not mine, grab from the HIPA website and shows how capable smartphones have gone. This is a very low resolution photo intended for internet viewing but I like this photo very much. Kodus to the Photographer . :)

    Here is a shot I took in a Bazaar with a friend with a single CPFlash 550W used as a harlight. It is easy to use. It took me less than 3 minutes to set-up this shot. :)

    Hello Ludmilla, Yes, actually I use it a lot when I do travel photography, but travel is pretty much restricted right now so I have t content myself with doing it in a studio. Here is another shot i took yesterday. Again with my P30 Pro ang 2 CPFlashes. :) One Cpflash, I positioned on the left and used as a hairlight. The other CPFlash was use for a sidelighted main light. :)

    I am not a profesional photographer, neither do I do a lot of Wildlife or Sports Photography and I don't print images larger than A3+ (13"x19"). So instead of spending more than 4000$ on a new mirrorless and a variety of lenses I decided to use my smartphone. For my needs a smartphone is better for me than an ILC as I can carry it anytime without the bulk. :) Here is my latest shoot in a studio using a Huawei P30 smartphone and 4 Innovatronix CPFlash 550W external flash. My interest in photography has definitely returned thanks to the smartphones. :)

    Hello Gogoshayne, I used a huawei P30 and 3 Innovatronix CPFlash 550W as external flashes. Each Flash can either be set as master or slave. If it is set as master it will communicate with your smartphone via bluetooth. If we set it as a slave, it will communicate with the master CPFlash via radio. :)

    Beautiful. :)

    I just discovered this youtube video today. Although I don't really do videos, It is nice to know that my smartphone external flash is capable of video lighting effects. :)
